Cities in Germany

[thereyougo!]

I spent 8 days travelling around Germany, visiting 13 cites. Some truly beautiful cities: Dresden really took my breath away! Some of these may be a little snapshoppy so apologies in advance:


The Golden Rider of Dresden

Heilbronn was another beautiful place, which was devastated in the Second world war - 7,000 people killed in less than 20 minutes. I saw this interesting statue at the back of the church that is the focal point for the city

The first is awesome the others seem pretty good with the exception of #2 being a bit over exposed where the sunlight was hitting the wall. Try and crop that out if at all possible. The lasy one Regenburg is good but you should crop out some of the river.

I like the last image, good composition.

Another from Germany, this time one of my early morning shots in the centre of Nuremberg. This is the castle, about 45 minutes after sunrise

This is the Madonna Statue in Marienplatz in Munich. I kept having to go back and back to get the full statue in. I had to increase my ISO to 400 as with a slower shutter speed the tripod (a Gitzo GT2530 was moving even though I had my rucsac hanging of it so needed a faster shutter speed.

To demonstrate the sharpness here is a 100% crop at the madonna's feet: To demonstrate the amount of detail, the 1024 x 722 image is 386kb, the crop is 822 x 1088 and is 1.4mb! The whole file (.tif) is 194mb
